Definitions

  • Aircraft passenger cabins are typically divided into different seating classes such as economy, business and first, among other seating classes.
  • Seat type, pitch, density and passenger amenities vary among the different seating classes.
  • Privacy also varies among the different seating classes, with minimal privacy in economy classes and maximum privacy in first class.
  • a seating area it may be necessary or desirable to enhance or relax the degree of privacy in a seating area, and particularly between adjacent seats. For example, to comply with safety requirements it may be necessary to keep open a seat egress path during taxi, take-off and landing (TTOL) in the event of an emergency. In other situations, it may be necessary or desirable to leave a seating area open during boarding, deplaning and meal service, and divide a seating area for sleeping, working or when using a video monitor. Privacy may also depend on the relationship between adjacent passengers.
  • partitions typically deploy to occupy a portion of the space between adjacent seats.
  • partitions may deploy vertically from within a console positioned between adjacent seats or may rotate into position from between adjacent backrests.
  • These dividers require furniture to be positioned between the seats to house the divider when stowed as well as contain the partition deployment mechanism.
  • Document US 2005/0001097 A1 describes an airplane cabin module intended to accommodate two passengers.
  • the module is equipped with a lavatory, seats, two beds and a movable partition.
  • the movable partition is a telescopic partition which is implemented in several segments, and which separates the two personal spaces of the module. In the folded-up position, the segments are superposed on each other and are housed in a housing in the lavatory.
  • the present invention provides an arrangement for an aircraft passenger cabin according to claim 1.
  • At least one privacy divider may include a plurality of coupled panels including a drive panel and at least one driven panel, wherein the drive panel and the at least one driven panel are coupled such that movement of the drive panel causes movement of the at least one driven panel.
  • first and second passenger seats may be parallel and laterally aligned and may be configured to adjust between upright and lie flat.
  • the at least two privacy dividers may include a plurality of coupled panels each configured to translate relative to another one of the plurality of separate panels.
  • At least one of the plurality of coupled panels includes an internal window which can be selectively opened or closed, the window including a frame embedded in the respective one of the separate panels and a shade slidable within the frame.
  • the present invention provides an aircraft cabin having a privacy divider according to the first aspect of the present invention installed in it.
  • the aircraft passenger cabin includes the seating area containing multiple first and second passenger seats.
  • Embodiments of the invention can include one or more or any combination of the above features.
  • the seating areas can be divided utilizing two or more privacy dividers.
  • the seating areas include first and second adjacent and parallel passenger seats that face the same direction and are closely spaced such that a double bed can be formed when a privacy divider deployable therebetween is stowed.
  • a monument is positioned at a forward end of the seating area facing the first and second passenger seats and may contain video monitors and amenities for use by passengers.
  • the monument may serve as a bay for housing a stowed privacy divider.
  • Monuments may be part of another seating group, closet, lavatory, etc., and thus may have functionality in addition to privacy divider stowage.
  • Privacy divider assemblies may include a single panel or a plurality of panels coupled together, and a mechanism for driving panel movement. Privacy divider and panel deployment may be according to a predetermined deployment sequence.
  • the privacy dividers according to the present invention are particularly suited for business class and first class seating arrangements.
  • the coupled panels may hang suspended from an overhead track, may track along a floor track, may track along or with vertical posts, or combinations thereof.
  • Seating areas may have different floorplans and dimensions depending on cabin width, length and seating density. Seats may be paired into groups or units in which seats are laterally adjacent and may be parallel or at an angle to each other. Each seat generally includes a seat bottom and a backrest and may optionally include one or more of a leg rest, armrests, and headrest. Each passenger seat may be configured to transition between an upright sitting position for taxi, take-off and landing (TTOL), and a horizontal or lie flat sleeping position during flight. Intermediate sitting positions may also be achievable by adjusting the angle of one or more of the seat bottom, backrest, leg rest, etc.
  • TTOL take-off and landing

  • Deployment may be controlled by the intermittent gear assembly configuration and a control system operable for activating the motor and motor direction according to the predetermined deployment sequence.
  • An alternative drive mechanism may include an endless belt configuration wherein one of the panels is coupled to an endless belt operable for driving panel deployment.
  • Divider panels may be coupled together.
  • a driven or leading panel may move to deploy a following panel and so on.
  • panels may be linked such that when a first panel reaches an engagement position the panel engages a following panel to pull the following panel, and so on.
  • a driven panel may carry a spring-loaded lever arm that engages a pin affixed to a second panel when the first panel reaches a predetermined position, and the second panel may carry a spring-loaded lever arm that engages a pin affixed to a third panel, etc.
